"So you're ready to start that new and ambitious ASP.NET MVC project. Maybe you're kicking off a new startup or just finally moving that old-and-crusty webforms project into modern development world. Either way, here are a few very simple things you can do immediately after creating that new MVC project that you will thank yourself for as your project grows in complexity."

A workaround: ASP.net MVC3: Doesn't Deserialize Nullable Properties from Json

"ASP.NET MVC 3 introduced global filters, which allows you to add the AuthorizeAttribute filter to the global.asax file to protect every action method of every controller. (In MVC versions prior to MVC 3, it was difficult to enforce the AuthorizeAttribute attribute be applied to all methods except login/register. See my previous blog on security for details.) The code below shows how to add the AuthorizeAttribute filter globally."

"Crazy random logo of evocative clipart combining the .NET Logo and some universal powerplugs into an unofficial logoI always like to remind folks of the equation ASP.NET > (ASP.NET MVC + ASP.NET WebForms). The whole "base of the pyramid" of ASP.NET has lots of things you can use in you applications. Some of these useful bits are Session State, Membership (Users), Roles, Profile data and the provider model that underlies it. Using these isn't for everyone but they are very useful for most applications, even ones as large as the ASP.NET site itself."

ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta and WebAPI

Project of a site that makes use of the new ASP.NET Web API via the MVC 4 beta. It creates a single-page web application that looks and works great no matter what kind of device is accessing it. It is also going to form the basis for a number of different design demonstrations, from building cloud-based applications in Azure to creating a responsive, rich UI using the Knockout.js MVVM library.

"Recently, I've been exploring the new ASP.NET Web API. So far, I've been impressed with how easy it is to build RESTful web interfaces. In the examples I've published, none have been secure. In the real world - the world that exists beyond the world of samples and demos - security is a matter than cannot be brushed aside. In this post, I squarely tackle that issue by showing you an approach that locks down and secures your ASP.NET Web API."
